Welcome! I'm an MScAC student at the University of Toronto in the Quantum Computing concentration. I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto in April 2025, doing a Physics and Computer Science Double Major and Mathematics Minor. During my undergrad I got involved in research in quantum simulation and research in STEM education. I perform research in simulating electronic structure Hamiltonians with Mohsen Bagherimehrab from The Matter Lab. Meanwhile, I've recently finished a literature review of interventions for procrastination in computer science postgraduate students with Professors Alice Gao and Jonathan Calver of UofT's computer science department.
Last semester, I took CSC2332 (Introduction to Quantum Algorithms), PHY2203 (Quantum Optics I), and CSC2615 (Ethical Aspects of AI). As part of the latter course, I performed a study on job replacement anxiety in post secondary computer science students because of AI, which has been submitted for publication.
